About this concert
Four albums (and countless songs written for other artists) into one of country music’s more esteemed careers, country recording artist/songwriter George Ducas continues to evolve. All together to date, Ducas has been a part of studio albums that have sold more than 20 million copies and even garnered a Grammy nomination.
Born in Texas City, Texas between Houston and Galveston, George Ducas’ family wasn’t a particularly musical one, leaving Ducas to take the reins of his own music education. He did benefit from hearing a steady diet of Willie Nelson and Texas singer-songwriters Jerry Jeff Walker and Guy Clark around the house, and taught himself how to play guitar around the age of 12. He later expanded his learning to both blues and rock.
With parents who divorced early in his childhood, Ducas spent his childhood years in both Texas with his father and California with his mother. After graduating high school in Houston, he enrolled at Vanderbilt University, even as music was calling his name. After graduating and moving to Atlanta for a brief stint, Ducas made the life-altering drive from Atlanta to Nashville, forging his own path in an industry built predominantly on formula. Early on, he dedicated himself to his songwriting and performed regularly in and around Nashville, cultivating a following both in and outside of the music industry.
Ducas maintains that the best part of it all is to tour and perform live – whether it’s back home in Texas, across the US, headlining festivals in Japan, France, Brazil, Switzerland, the UK, or appearing on Nashville’s famed Grand Ole Opry. Of his live show, Ducas says, “I like for the experience to be a non-stop musical journey, of both my own recordings and songwriting hits, both past and present.

George Ducas Biography
It isn't often when a country singer has the rock-solid guts of
Dust Bowl reveries, the jacked-up locomotion of the early
Bakersfield country sound and the more modern-minted energy
of Los Angeles' honky-tonk hijinks all rolled into one righteous
attack. But that's George Ducas' soul to share. On his new
album, LONG WAY FROM HOME, there is a distinct feeling of a
new history being born. Maybe that's because Ducas is able to
seamlessly connect all those elements with such a natural flair
that it can be a bit overwhelming when the sound is flying at full-
tilt.
Venturing to Southern California, Ducas sought out multi-Platinum Producer Pete Anderson, the two teaming up with a shared, kindred rock solid honky tonk vision, to create Ducas’ self-penned Long Way From Home. Known for his work with Americana greats Lucinda Williams and Jim Lauderdale as well as his multi-platinum productions of Dwight Yoakam's albums, Anderson is someone who is as much a star-spotter as any recent producer in country music. When he saw and heard George Ducas, he knew he was looking at the future. And he made sure he would be producing the new songs. "This album plants a flag for California country and the Bakersfield and Texas honky tonks," Anderson says. "Every track is a monument--and this album is monumental."
On his previous albums it was obvious that something serious has always been happening with the man's music. It could be felt in the rhythms the songs featured, in the lyrics of someone who takes songwriting seriously, and maybe most of all in the voice of an all-time great country music singer. Ducas has had multiple Billboard chart hits of his own, including the breakout Top 10 “Lipstick Promises”, and has even written hit records for all-timers like George Jones, Garth Brooks, The Chicks, and Trisha Yearwood and been nominated for a Grammy Award, but he’s never made an album like Long Way From Home. Now, teaming with Platinum producer/guitar player Pete Anderson, it is as if everything has coalesced into an undeniable force which happens once or twice a decade in country music. George Ducas is now that person moving the sound forward while always respecting what has come before him. His life and his vision have come together to create a new achievement bound to cross new borders, and so out of Los Angeles, California, the journey begins with Long Way From Home.
